Gluten Free New York Style Cookies
Servings: 4 x 6lb cookies!
Ingredients
- 220 g Gluten free plain flour
- 115 g Stork Butter - comes in a foil packet and says "for biscuits" on the front - its naturally dairy free
- 65 g Light Brown Sugar
- 65 g Golden Caster Sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/8 tsp baking soda
- 1 tbsp cornflour
- Pinch of Salt
Flavourings
- 150 g choc chips
- 100 g walnuts
Instructions
- Cut the butter into cubes. Place into a large mixing bowl with both types of sugar.
- Whisk until just combined.
- Add the egg and whisk until just combined.
- Add the flour, corn flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and whisk until fully combined. You shouldn't see any little lumps of flour/white dusty bits!
- Add the choc chips & walnuts and mix until its evenly spread throughout the dough. You might need to use a wooden spoon or hands for this, rather than your whisk.
- Take roughly 6oz of the mix, mould into a *rough* ball shape and place on a baking tray/freezer proof dish/plate. Repeat for the rest of the mix. >Don't make perfectly round cookie dough balls. There's a video from the Levain creators on Youtube where you can see them scooping out their cookie dough into balls. One of the ladies says "we don't want perfect cricket balls". Basically, keep them rough and ready!
- Place the balls into the freezer for at least 1 hour. Overnight is preferable.
- Pre-heat your oven to 185oC. Cover a baking tray with tin foil>Don't use baking paper, they cook better with tin foil.
- Place the cookies on the foil and place into the oven for precisely 21 mins! >Cooking time and temperature makes a hugeeeeeeeee difference. Don't play about with it unless you know you've got an oven that is either always too hot or cold!
- Remove from the oven and leave them alone for at least 15 mins to cool before attempting to touch them!>Under NO circumstances should you try to move the cookies from the tray when you've removed them from the oven!!!! They need at least 10-15mins to cool, during which time they will keep cooking. If you try to move them before, they will crumble and the inside will still be raw.
- EAT!!!!
